Curling- the new Rock 'n' Roll?!??!?!

Well, congrats are obviously in order to Rhona Martin & co, for winning the first Brit Gold medal in the Winter Olympics since Tovrill & Dean fell down at the end of their interminable Bolero routine in nineteen-canteen!!!!!!! Wot a shame, it's for flipping Curling, which is exactly like bowling- only in Lapland!!!!!!! Still, it's quite amusing to see an incredibly boring sport which has had loads of TV coverage for squillions of years up my end suddenly become hip 'n' happening amongst London media types!!!!!!

Blog off, Blogs!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey!!!! Is it that long since the second day versh 2 of SC that I noted that some 1st generation bloggers were getting a little miffed off as 2nd generation bloggers who used stuff like, erm, Blogger!??!?!?!?!? Well, it seems like the mainstream press have finally caught up, like only 17 months afterwards!!!!!!! So, top markxzzx to Wired for really being on-the-ball and up-to-tha-minute there!!!! Especially as they're being a bit sniffy about a column by John Dvorak of PC World, which basically said the same things about blogs that Wired themselves said about Matt Drudge and online reporting in general!!!!!!!!!!! (Tho to be fair, they do give both "F&%£edcompany" and"F&%3ked Weblog" a mention...)

Talk about 'revealing sources'!!!!!!

U-no!!! I was reading some story in tha Wooly Brigade's fave papier, Tha Guardian!!!! It was about the usual music industry woes re Morpheus/Gnuttella/Limewire/PloppyTrader/Bearshare (Wot?!?!?! Is that a P2P thingy for "blue movies"?!?!?!? I think we should be told!!!!!!) and wasn't too much to write about, to be honest!!!!

Except for this!!!!!! The GuardyPeeps put their usual load of "related links" at the end of their story, just like any tired "old media" w3sitey!!!! And look at what they put as the top link!!!!!!!!! Before the linkos to the National Crime Sqaud!!!!!!
